Appleseed Book 2
Prometheus Unbound
by Masamune Shirow; translated by Dana Lewis and
Toren Smith
The plot thickens in Masamune Shirow's epic science fiction comic book as the
interaction between different political factions comes to a head. Renegade street soldier
Deunan Knute goes from police officer to member of the government strike force ESWAT just
in time to help the island utopia of Olympus prevent its own destruction. As members of
the National Council bicker over the civil rights of machines and cyborgs (here called
bioroids), monstrous gun platforms, which look like 100-foot-tall mechanical spiders, are
being introduced into the city--supposedly for protection. The climactic battle reveals
the significance of the title Appleseed.
